When I said 'shallow depths where the risk is not so high', I meant depths up to, say, 60 feet.
I consider the Yukon not to be a shallow dive. Nitrox can safely and gainfully be used to 130 feet and a little beyond if the limiting factors are known and heeded. These are MOD and PO2 and they are interdependent.
This does not mean that there is not a better breathing gas (e.g., Trimix) for these or even any depths. Some limiting factors for Trimix are its even more limited availability and the prohibitive price.
Thanks for bringing this up and I hope I could clarify your question.
